This book describes methods for statistical brain imaging data
analysis from both the perspective of methodology and from the
standpoint of application for software implementation in neuroscience
research. These include those both commonly used (traditional
established) and state of the art methods. The former is easier to do
due to the availability of appropriate software. To understand the
methods it is necessary to have some mathematical knowledge which is
explained in the book with the help of figures and descriptions of the
theory behind the software. In addition, the book includes numerical
examples to guide readers on the working of existing popular software.
The use of mathematics is reduced and simplified for non-experts using
established methods, which also helps in avoiding mistakes in
application and interpretation. Finally, the book enables the reader
to understand and conceptualize the overall flow of brain imaging data
analysis, particularly for statisticians and data-scientists
unfamiliar with this area. The state of the art method described in
the book has a multivariate approach developed by the authors’ team.
Since brain imaging data, generally, has a highly correlated and
complex structure with large amounts of data, categorized into big
data, the multivariate approach can be used as dimension reduction by
following the application of statistical methods. The R package for
most of the methods described is provided in the book. Understanding
the background theory is helpful in implementing the software for
original and creative applications and for an unbiased interpretation
of the output. The book also explains new methods in a conceptual
manner. These methodologies and packages are commonly applied in life
science data analysis. Advanced methods to obtain novel insights are
introduced, thereby encouraging the development of new methods and
applications for research into medicine as a neuroscience.
